Naval Home Command administered training and garrison functions for the

History
As the Royal Navy's size decreased during the
Cold War , commands were amalgamated. In 1969, the Home and Mediterranean Fleets were amalgamated, and on shore, the great historical garrison commands of
Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth and
Commander-in-Chief, Plymouth were combined in July 1969. The result was Naval Home Command.
In 1992 establishments under the command's jurisdiction included
Flag Officer, Portsmouth ;
Flag Officer Plymouth ; activities at Portland;
Flag Officer Scotland and Northern Ireland ; Commodore
HMNB Clyde ; Training; Reserves; and Chief Executive
Marine Services .

From 1994
In 1994 the post of Commander-in-Chief Naval Home Command was unified with that of the
Second Sea Lord following the rationalisation of the British Armed Forces following the end of the Cold War.
[7] The staff were housed in a new Victory Building at Portsmouth. By 2006, the primary responsibility of the CNH/2SL was to maintain operational capability by providing correctly trained manpower to the fleet.

In 2012, the appointments of both remaining Commanders-in-Chief were discontinued, with full operational command being vested instead in the
First Sea Lord .
